In response to today\u2019s mobile-first approach and lifestyle, HID Global announces the release of the HID goID platform, which allows citizen IDs to be provisioned securely on their smartphones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The HID goID platform for mobile IDs enables driver licenses and other government IDs to be carried on smartphones that become all-in-one devices for receiving, presenting and authenticating mobile IDs with the highest level of privacy protection.<\/p>\n

\nThis marks a new era in which individuals will be able to confidently use their smartphone as their secure, trusted ID, and governments can reach a new level of convenience in issuing IDs and extending their relationships with citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cMobile IDs will simplify people\u2019s lives, empower them with more applications and increase the level of trust for individuals to use their digital identity,\u201d said Rob Haslam, Vice President and Managing Director of the Government ID business within HID Global.\u00a0 \u201cAs the first solution to enable convenient yet secure issuing and receiving of credentials over the air, the HID goID platform creates a brand new category for mobile citizen IDs.\u00a0 Governments around the world already rely on HID Global for major programs, such as the US Green Card, Ireland Passport datapage, Angola National ID and more; HID goID lays the foundation for HID Global to lead the industry\u2019s evolution to mobile IDs as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Powered by HID Global\u2019s Seos technology, the HID goID platform for mobile IDs goes much further to enable instant over-the-air provisioning and streamlined access to cloud-based government information services with the assurance that all transactions are secure and trustworthy. This ensures all transactions related to issuing, managing and presenting credentials using mobile phones are conducted in a highly secure, closed-circuit environment protected by end-to-end encryption.<\/p>\n

\"CitizenID_iphone<\/a>Seos technology has already demonstrated the transformational power of mobile IDs in numerous applications, and there is growing demand for this capability to provide the equivalent of a digital wallet for carrying multiple identities tied to the user\u2019s one true identity.<\/p>\n

A Zogby Analytics poll of 18- to 34-year olds who have smartphones revealed that 39 percent would like to verify their identity with a digital ID instead of showing a driver\u2019s license.\u00a0 With IDs on smartphones, citizens are in control of the data made available in different scenarios, such as only showing a person\u2019s photo and age.<\/p>\n

HID Global is now engaging with national governments and state and provincial driver\u2019s license agencies about the possibility of launching goID pilots that will explore each jurisdiction\u2019s specific platform deployment objectives and requirements.<\/p>\n

The solution will eliminate the need for people to stand in lines for new cards and renewals.\u00a0 Key focus areas include: preventing fraud through authentication over secure channels; optimizing flexibility for online authentication if a citizen\u2019s smartphone battery is dead; simplifying issuance through over-the-air provisioning as already proven at universities, banks, hotels, hospitals and other institutions leveraging Seos technology; and protecting privacy by utilizing a smartphone\u2019s Bluetooth connection so users can electronically present their credentials without physically relinquishing their smartphones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
